It’ll turn out to be a very nice day today in the Mid-Atlantic region as high pressure builds in providing us with plenty of sunshine, breezy and warmer conditions. The nice weather will be rather short-lived however. A strong cold front will approach on Wednesday with a pretty high likelihood of showers and there can even be a late day strong-to-severe thunderstorm potentially containing damaging wind gusts. A much colder air mass will ride into the area tomorrow night on strong NW winds and temperatures by Thursday morning will likely bottom out in the middle 30's in many suburban locations. It remains windy and unseasonably chilly on Thursday with a feel of March rather than late April, but moderation in temperatures will take place by the end of the week. Another strong system could bring more rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region by the second half of the upcoming weekend.

An upper-level disturbance will push into the Mid-Atlantic region today with scattered showers and a possible thunderstorm and this will be followed by high pressure later tonight into Tuesday. The biggest weather event of the week will likely be the passage of a strong cold front at mid-week that will produce showers and a possible strong thunderstorm later Wednesday. An unseasonably cold air mass will push into the area for Wednesday night and Thursday with overnight lows well down in the 30's and a feeling of March during the day Thursday. Looking ahead, more rain is likely in the Mid-Atlantic region by Saturday night and Sunday.

Late morning weather observations featured snow in Boston, Massachusetts at 35 degrees and snow in Denver, Colorado at 27 degrees – and yet it is the middle of April. In fact, there is accumulating snow in two parts of the nation at mid-day including much of New England which is being hit by a springtime nor’easter and also in the region from the central Rockies to the central Plains. Just when most people desire the sustained warmth that spring can offer this time of year, the overall weather pattern says not yet – at least not for much of the central and eastern US during the rest of the month of April. Not only is there a colder-than-normal air mass now extending across this large part of the country, it appears that there will be multiple cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US during at least the next ten days or so. Winter is simply not going away without a fight.

Low pressure will slowly pull up the New England coastline today and it’ll generate windy and cold conditions for our area and the possibility for more shower activity. It’ll remain on the chilly side tonight with overnight lows not far from 40 degrees, but the weekend looks pretty promising with at least some sunshine likely on both days and generally comfortable afternoon temperatures. The generally mild, dry conditions of this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region are likely to continue through the first half of next week.

Low pressure will intensify off the Mid-Atlantic coastline today and likely produce occasional rain around here and it will also end up producing some accumulating snow in the higher elevation interior locations of New York State and New England (great news for skiers). We'll experience windy and chilly conditions here on Friday following the departure of the storm system and the weekend is looking quite promising with some sunshine likely on both days and rather mild temperatures. Longer term, it looks like additional chilly air masses are likely to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada during the remainder of the month of April.

After a nice day on Tuesday, our unsettled weather pattern will make a return for the next few days as a nor'easter forms up the coastline with the arrival of a chilly air mass into the Northeast US. This unfolding storm system will bring more rain to the NYC metro region from later today into Friday and will produce accumulating snow in the higher elevation interior locations of New York State and New England (great for skiers). We'll experience windy and chilly conditions here on Friday following the departure of the storm system and the weekend is looking quite promising with some sunshine likely on both days and rather decent temperatures. Longer term, it looks like additional chilly air masses are likely to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada during the remainder of the month of April.

Just when most people desire the sustained warmth that spring can offer this time of year, the unfolding weather pattern says not quite yet – at least not for much of the central and eastern US. Not only is a chilly air mass coming for later this week, it appears there may be multiple cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US as we progress through the remainder of the month of April. In addition to the chill, a late week nor’easter can bring accumulating snow to interior, higher elevations of the Northeast US as winter is simply not going away without a fight.

After what will turn out to be a pretty decent day on Tuesday, our unsettled weather pattern will make a return for the mid and late week as a nor'easter forms with the arrival of a chilly air mass. This storm will bring more rain to the I-95 corridor and some accumulating snow to portions of the interior and higher-elevation Northeast US. Low pressure will push towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline late Wednesday and then intensify on Thursday as it pushes slowly to the north and east. Given a strong blocking pattern aloft over Canada/Greenland, this storm may have a prolonged impact on the Northeast US late in the week with chilly, unsettled conditions. Additional chilly air masses are likely to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada for much of the remainder of the month of April.

To quote T.S Eliot…“April is the cruelest month”. Just when most desire the sustained warmth of spring, the weather pattern in the Northeast US can take a nasty turn and that unwelcome change is now unfolding as we approach the middle of the month. Last week featured some extreme cold in Alaska where some of the lowest temperatures ever for April were experienced and there was some very cold air in Europe as well. All of this took place while much of the US enjoyed generally warm and dry weather from coast-to-coast. That enjoyable pattern is certainly going away for the northeastern quadrant of the nation where below-normal temperatures may be the theme through the remainder of the month of April.

An unsettled and cooler pattern is likely for the next few days with some stubborn cloudiness in the area and a continued threat of showers. A series of upper-level lows will be strung out across the country this week and high pressure will expand over southeastern Canada. It’ll turn cooler for today as an onshore flow forms around high pressure to the northeast of us and then a bit milder on Tuesday only to turn cooler again later in the week. There is the threat for a strong coastal storm later in the week which could bring a soaking rain to much of the immediate I-95 corridor and perhaps wet snow to some higher elevation, interior locations of the Mid-Atlantic region such as NE PA/SE NY.
